    Hi Richard

    I don’t think you can roll back in a stock android sytem.
    Research on how to root your device, then install a custom rom. Costom roms are light years head of bloated stock roms.
    A good start will be in xda dev. forum.

    Good luck

      Dear Arvinan,
      Most people on this forum are just average phone/ tablet owners looking to save themselves from having to replace a device that has glitched, as opposed to computer programmers of any sort. So, since your links are disabled, on behalf of these people and myself for whom the simple fix above did not work, I will ask you a few questions of clarification to better understand your advice.
      1. What is gapps?
      2. What would constitute its equivalent and how might we judge the appropriate choice for our device? (Mine, for instance is a Motorola Xoom, so perhaps it is difficult to find as it is dated?)
      3. How might this gapps version be installed?
      4. What is CM an abbreviation of?
      5. What is a “vers” and where might it be located?
      6. What is a “wipe” and how is it “done”?
      7. What is “rom” and how might that be installed?

      Best Regards,
      Cat

    Hello Guys,

    I’ve installed the ROM – JellyTime 4.3 Beta 6

    I have cleared the data for the app Android keyboard (AOSP)

    But, I don’t see the app Dictionary Provider on the All Apps page, rather I see “User Dictionary”. But, ‘Clear Data’ button is disabled for this App. I clicked on ‘Force Stop’. But, nothing changed. The phone is showing same pop-up “Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped on Android “…

    Please help me in resolving this issue.

    Thanks,
    Manohar

    Thanks Boss. The “Clear Data” option did not work, but when I “disabled the Dictionary Provider” all went well.
    My month long nightmare is finally over.

      That just worked for me as well. I’m running the newest stable version of Cyanogen on a Barnes & Noble Nook HD.

    Use the age old Indian method to fix this problem. After following the above steps, just switch off your mobile, take out its battery and sim cards. Clean these parts gently using soft clothes and blowing air from mouth for difficult regions. Rearrange the whole thing again after cleaning and the switch on your mobile.. mine was saved by this today only… working perfectly now

    Took it to Verizon, the guy pressed the power and the down volume until the phone powered off and came back on. He said the error was resolved so I left. When the phone powered up the keyboard error was still there. I found this site and went to the apps as instructed. My phone app says -Google keyboard-. I cleared the data and cache and the error went away. I have the droid Htc phone so my setting were a little different but the end result was great. Thanks for steering me in the right direction.

    I had the same problem, could not connect to the internet, because I had no keyboard. I searched “ai keyboard apk” , they have a free one. I downloaded it on my laptop and then transferred it to my phone using a USB cable, then I ran it from the phone, installed great, I disabled the android keyboard aosp and now I have a perfect working phone, using the ai keyboard. I hope this helps, I tried all the above ideas, but they did not work for me, of coarse pretty much any keyboard apk will work.

    I had same problem also back button not working after I update my Xperia Miro to Kitkat.
    I solved it with ICS Keyboard.apk at 4shared. I downloaded it on my laptop and then transfer it to my phone using a USB cable. Then I installed it from the phone. I also disable Android Keyboard in the application settings. ITS WORKING!!!
    Finally, I got back and at the same time its helps my back button working. I am very grateful and very happy. Hope this helps.

    Only worked for one day for me, so I went to Play Store and did a voice search for ‘Keyboard’ and chose Keyboard Red and that worked for me.
    Google warned that it could be a keylogger, but many like it and I only use this phone for games and GPT sites anyway, so I wouldn’t care.
